"There's one for dealing with an avalanche that looks useful."
Not that Bucky doesn't think he could muddle his way through surviving one if he had to. Between the serum and his training, he can deal with a lot, but he'd rather not lose any limbs to frostbite in the process or worse, watch someone else lose limbs from it or freeze to death in front of him.
It's a level of personal responsibility he hasn't felt for a while. Before Steve found him in Bucharest, he'd spent most of his time disappearing in a crowd, not particularly dialed into the other people in it. He doesn't know if he can do that now and he doesn't think he should. If they're being sent to this place together, he should make sure he has to skills to watch out for everyone else, too.
It's what the old Bucky would have done for certain. He would have stepped up to keep others safe. If that requires a little extra training, he'll do it.
The constant process of asking what Bucky Barnes would do can be exhausting, but when he knows the answer, it can be freeing, too. It gives him direction, orders to follow on the days his mind isn't at its best, even if they're coming from himself.
